The bleeding had stopped. He felt the wound with his hand; it wasn't big, so he quickly cleaned it and lay back down on the bed.
This nightmare had haunted him for over a decade. Every time he got emotional, he would have that kind of dream.
In the dream, that woman kept forcing him to call her mom!
When he couldn't, his dad would beat him!
Lin Zhou lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He took out his phone and saw a text message received before he went to sleep.
[Lin Zhou, what happened between you and Zhang Shuai today? He kept nagging all the way home, insisting I report to him wherever I go!]
It's Tian Xin!
Lin Zhou quickly sat up, picked up his phone, and started replying, [It's nothing, don't worry. He might just be concerned about your safety when you go out alone...]
He typed a long message so quickly that even he couldn't control it.
Before sending it, he checked it again to ensure Tian Xin wouldn't notice anything strange, then hit send!
